habits: Spreading out your blog posts
- 03/22/08 01:02 PM
Have you setup google alerts for your name? for the topics you frequently blog about? You should.I've heard that google and the other search engines respond in kind - that is, if you post frequently, they check your site frequently. I wonder if they only pick up the latest post ....When I post daily, I get a google alert almost every day. Sometimes it comes in 20 minutes.
